Patch 7.1 not only features exciting group and solo content, but also some quality of life improvements to existing parts of the game! This post examines changes to leveling abilities, reputation additions and the possible new faction Talon's Vengeance, as well as more World Quests to speed up reputation grinds.\r\r\r\rLeveling Ability Flow\rIn classic WoW, gaining new abilities as you leveled up felt like a big accomplishment. Everyone looked forward to returning to the trainer for a signature ability at level 40.\r\rThe current leveling flow of WoW in 7.0 is a bit different, with signature abilities acquired early on like Mutilar at level 1, which can be overwhelming for new players and take the excitement out of leveling.\r\rIn Patch 7.1, the leveling ability flow has changed once again. Players have fewer abilities at very low levels, with important ones unlocked at level 20, 40, and 50. There is always something new to look forward to!\rUsing Rogues as an example, in Patch 7.1 you will start off with Golpe siniestro as your combo-point generator at Level 1. If you stick with the Assassination spec, you will replace that ability with Mutilar at level 40.\r\rAs part of introducing important abilities at levels 20, 40, and 50, some abilities have reshuffled their levels:\rSome examples using well-known abilities: Hoja de la noche is now available at 20, down from 46, Forma del Vacío is now available at 20 up from 10, Evocación is now available at 20 down from 40.\r\rSome abilities acquired at low levels take on additional complexity at higher levels with new Ability Ranks:\rFor example, Explosión de Fuego is an instant-cast ability acquired at level 3. Rank 2, acquired at level 14, makes Fire Blast always crit. Rank 3, acquired at level 48, gives Fire Blast 2 charges. The end result with all three Ranks is unchanged from how the ability works on live servers, but for a player leveling, the benefits are spread out.\r\rWe've updated our leveling guides for new players with the ability changes. If you want to dig into further detail, you can browse our database spell pages by going to Database > Spells > Specialization and then clicking on the spec you prefer. (Note you will have to use the PTR database to see the changes until 7.1 goes live.)\r\r\r\r\rDruid\rHunter\r\rMage\r\rMonk\r\rPaladin\r\rPriest\r\rRogue\r\rShaman\r\rWarlock\r\r\rWarrior\r\rReputation Updates\rA few factions have new items in Patch 7.1:\rHighmountain sells Receta: tambores de la montaña at Revered and Receta: tambores de la montaña at Exalted\rNightfallen Revered sells Receta: poción de poder prolongado, and Exalted is one of the requirements for Sable de maná de arcanista\rWardens sell Técnica de runa vantus: Odyn and Receta: tortilla de falcosaurio especiada at Revered, and Receta: Esponja vegetal con plumas at Honored\r\rThere are some reputation improvements for alts:\rCourt of Stars and The Arcway will have account-wide unlocks.\rWorld Quests will not have a friendly requirement on secondary characters.\r\rVenganza de la Garfa is a new faction coming sometime in Patch 7.1. Muffinus has dropped some tweets about this faction, but it remains shrouded in mystery on the PTR without any breadcrumb quests, and a new vendor, Abalorio, who has nothing to sell by Aviana in Highmountain.\r\rWe reached out to Muffinus on Twitter if this faction was coming in 7.1, as it was not included in the Solo Adventure Preview:\r\r\r\rWhat we know about this elusive faction is:\rFinishing the introductory sequence () will reward Garfa de marfil. This PvP item has a similar effect to the Incensario de agonía eterna from Mists of Pandaria.\rThe description is: Heal 100% of maximum health and become an avenger of Aviana. While transformed, you are hostile to all players, and killing players grants Marks of Prey. Can only be used in falcosaur and PvP World Quest areas, and flags the user for PvP. (15 Min Cooldown)\rAt Neutral players can purchase Hoja regurgitada: Eat the leaf, restoring 10% of maximum health every 2 sec. for 30 sec. Only usable in Broken Isles. (3 Min Cooldown)\rAt Friendly players can purchase Bolsa de ramitas: Build a nest that allows resting and lasts for 5 min. If you spend at least 5 seconds resting you will become well-rested and gain 3% to all stats for 1 hour. Can only be used in Broken Isles. (5 Min Cooldown)\rAt Honored players can purchase Pluma de marfil: This is an upgraded version of Garfa de marfil. It can be used in Battlegrounds and Ashran.\rAt Revered players can purchase Pico de falcosaurio rajado, a trinket with the Use effect: Increases chance to deal and take a Critical Strike by 50% for 15 sec. Only usable in Falcosaur and PvP World Quest areas. (3 Min Cooldown)\rAt Exalted players can purchase the mount Halcón zancudo de marfil, a recolor of the Blood Elf racial mounts like Halcón zancudo negro.\rThere is a related title: \r\rWorld Quest Updates\r\rThere are new World Quests related to Helya and the Helarjar. These can spawn all over the Broken Isles and will award reputation with the faction specific to that zone, as well as the Valarjar. Examples: Desembarco Helarjar: Costa Roca Lejana and Desembarco Helarjar: Marisma Gris\r\r\r\rThere are a number of World Quests added to Suramar, including Líneas de vida, Mala gatitud, and Mantenimiento seguro. These grant 250 reputation, making them a step up from the existing Suramar quests which award less reputation.\r\rThe Kirn Tor has a new mini-game: Barrels of Fun\r\rPvP World Quests now show the amount of Honor rewarded, and Dungeon World Quests have a new graphic.\r

I love the changes to leveling abilities, especially the Fire Blast one! That's the kind of thing this game needs back, desperately. There is a lot of abilities that could be changed like this, and it would definitely add an element of growth and getting more powerful as you level.

They will show us how much honor they are worth, but not how much rep they are worth?

Wonder where the new stuff is gonna be, I was thinking maybe Broken Shore, but it seems that one is pretty wrecked and full of demons already.

I have to admit I was thinking the same thing @Speroah - But sadly not as much as I've expected.\r\rWould really like to see some of this "ALT Friendly" and Catch-Up mechanix. So far the removal of "Friendly" from World Quest(s) of ALTS is the only real item I'm seeing. Even that is sort of useless as you already have "Friendly" by just doing a couple of the main quests in each zone (Except Suramar - more quests after 110). PLUS... if you have a profession you basically have to go back and get REV or EXHALTED to get any decent schematics\/recipes.\r\rExample: All research on ALTS seems to take the EXACT same time - nothing has sped up in any fashion. I leveled my main the first week, but each of my ALT's has the same time clocks on every part of the leveling process and Order Hall efforts. Someone please point me to something I must be missing?\r\rBLIZZ - How about you give us what we had in MoP please? Ability to get 100% buff account wide after reaching EXHALTED on each REP.

Bringing back Spell Ranks in a way? Thank god, breaks up the monotony of levelling when you actually see your abilities get stronger over time instead of just casting fireball twice until you hit 100.\r\rI really liked how mages' Arcane Missile began as a stream of one at a time and gradually started looking more powerful, up to the 5 missile stream of 5 impacts. It made me really feel like it was hitting much harder. Now, while I know it hits harder, it looks exactly how it does at level 110 as when you first get it at level 14.

New Suramar World Quests are nice with 250 reputation; but that's not the reputation I'd like to see have increased rep. It helps, definitely, but it wouldn't hurt for Wardens targets to give a bit more reputation as well.\r\rIt's really cool that they're working with the leveling aspect again when it comes to abilities, maybe I can finally drive myself to level my alts again.

Yeah we need this kind of stuff back that was awesome.

Why do i need to put forth the effort into doing the same questline that was already done. The only thing that breaks this up is the class campaigns. \r\rNeed better catch up mechanics in general.

I'd rather see a return to using the class trainers, personally. Those poor NPCs stand around all day now with nothing to do.

So is there going to be a new zone or is this just a misinterpretation of the text?\r\rAt Revered players can purchase Cracked Falcosaur Beak, a trinket with the Use effect: Increases chance to deal and take a Critical Strike by 50% for 15 sec. Only usable in Falcosaur and PvP World Quest areas. (3 Min Cooldown) Min Cooldown)
